Apple Grabs “5D” Technology Patents

Apple was granted a large number of new patents, which describes a technology that the document terms "5D", making the fruity company to possibly use both the fourth and fifth dimension.

This is not the time and some other undiscovered dimension, however, but a term used to describe - as stated by PatentlyApple - ". Size of the force", the "force vector direction" and it sounds like something that can be included in one of those boxing arcade machines.

But the patent is not all, because it is incredibly broad sweep, give Apple rights suggestive of new media and gaming interaction to watch. There is talk of the possibility of dynamic events to be detected over a large area, new touch-screen technology, higher quality touch capacitive displays, complex inputs than simple points, tactile feedback over large areas and a number of more varied touch and detection based of ideas.

The patent also touches on the possibility of the use of radar or ultrasound to an individual's position to detect in the space, so that more accurate motion controls, or the tuning of the viewing experience for the user. We have already seen what a similar technology like this, like this with the latest and greatest 3D TVs that are able to produce a three dimensional image for multiple viewers at various angles to broadcast.

Other parts of the patent hint at the inclusion of this type of technology in vehicles as part of the dashboard interface. A simple use of these could be of the driver's height to be detected, so that the tuning of the dials and provides for their information to focus directly on his / her eyes. There is also mention of the touch technology is used as a method of identification for starting a vehicle.
